South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands sovereignty dispute information


Map of South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands

British sovereignty of South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands is disputed by Argentina. The United Kingdom claimed South Georgia in 1775 (at the time it was the United Kingdom of Great Britain),[1][2] annexed the islands in 1908, and has exercised de facto control with the exception of a brief period during the Falklands War in 1982, when the islands were partially controlled by Argentina.[3] The dispute started in 1927 when Argentina claimed sovereignty over South Georgia, and subsequently expanded in scope with Argentina claiming the South Sandwich Islands in 1938.[4] The islands have no indigenous population,[3] and currently only have about 30 inhabitants.
